I've got my 80cc/66cc kit installed and I am ordering a SBP jackshaft kit and don't really look forward to pedal starting my bike, so does anyone know a site where I could get a pull start addon?(other then ebay, I already know I can get them there)

John from what Ive read your pedals will not clear with a pull start. Some one does sell them though, do a search on it here and dont use just thread titles.

The answer of course is wider pedal cranks. I got a set of them intending to get a pull start eventually. I haven't gotten around to it yet, but the wider pedals are more comfortable to me. They have both here, the pedal cranks are on the next page. They also have a centrifugal clutch that will fit our engines.

if you have pull start/shift kit there's no reason to have working pedals :P

OOG and breakdowns are jus' waitin' fer comments like that lol

Murphy is listening o.o

I kinda like being able to shut down and go "stealth" with just the pedals, I'll hit the sidewalk in the lil town we have near here and just pedal and coast like a regular bike. I suppose it isn't something I need to do *shrug*

I see no reason for a pull start when you have pedals....Just pedal a couple of stokes,dump the clutch and bada bing,it fires up.....

it's to save stressing the bearings inside the front freewheel on the SBP shift kit.

I agree with BarelyAWake being able to stealth around when necessary is very important. Also, a pull starter is necessary when you have a centrifugal clutch

Ive been getting mixed storys about the centrifugal clutch....I hear you dont need a pull start and now your saying you do.....Well that scratches my idea of buying a clutch....I will find out from the supplier first before I buy one....
